Celine

I reached for my glass of water, trying to steady my shaking hands. “Oh. That’s good then.”

Suddenly, I heard my phone buzzed, and I nearly dropped it. My hands shook as I picked it up and saw Demian’s name flashing on the screen. My stomach twisted into knots.

I opened the message, and my heart leaped to my throat. “This is just a warning, Celine. Next time I visit Ethan, I’ll tell him everything. If you don’t want that, don’t forget my money tomorrow.”

I felt like the walls were closing in on me. My breathing quickened as I glanced at Ethan, who just left to pick a call.

I need to act fast. I couldn’t let Demian ruin everything I had worked so hard for. My hands trembled as I locked my phone and stuffed it into my pocket.

Ethan walked back into the dining room and sat down on the couch, flipping through his phone. I swallowed hard, gazing at him while forcing myself to look calm.

“Ethan,” I said softly and He glanced up, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“What?” He aske

    EthanI couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the news that Demian was dead. This life is too short... I mean, The man I saw just last night is dead. "Oh, God." I leaned back on the couch, my heart pounding. How could this happen so fast? I barely knew him, but still… I felt bad for him. His death is too sudden. I could still remember when I saw him last night. I had just come back home after another failed attempt to talk to Sonia and Jay. She still refused to see me, and I felt drained. All I wanted was to shower and clear my head. But before I could even make it to my room, one of the maids stopped me. “Sir, someone’s here to see you.”I sighed in frustration. “Who is it?” “He said, his name is Demian.” The maid replied with a bow. I didn’t recognize the name. I wasn’t in the mood for visitors, but I told her to let him in any way. A tall man walked in and greeted me. “Good evening, Mr. Ethan,” he said with a weird smile that made me uneasy. “I’m Demian, a childhood

    Sonia I was sitting at the beach with Jay, waiting for Ethan's arrival when my mind drifted back to last night. I was surprised when Jay told me he was ready to meet Ethan. I mean, I have been asking him if he wants to see Ethan but he told me he wasn't ready yet and when he told me last night, I had no other choice but to accept even if it hurt and broke my heart. It's his right and I couldn't deny him that. I would have wanted Ethan to meet us at the restaurant but Jay suggested he meet us at the beach. I was so lost in my thoughts when I heard someone call my name. I spun around and saw Alex walking up to us with a smile. "What is he doing here?" I wondered as I stared at his handsome face. He greeted me, taking my hand and planting a soft kiss on it before sitting beside me. "What are you doing here?" He asked with a smile as he dropped his gaze on Jay who was staring at both of us. "Uhm... We are here to meet someone." I said, softly. "And this is Jay, my son." I introduc

    Ethan Holding Jay in my arms felt like a dream, a dream I am afraid to wake up from. My son, my little boy, is finally here, in my arms. I closed my eyes and held him tighter, feeling the moments.It hurt…it hurt me so much that I wasn't aware of his birth, that I wasn't involved in his life. Thinking about how I unknowingly sent Sonia away with pregnancy made my heart ache in pain, and before I knew it, tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn’t care. I didn’t bother to hide them as I allowed them to fall freely from my eyes.Pulling back, I quickly wiped my tears and smiled at Jay. He stared at me, curious but quiet. I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on his forehead. “I am sorry, Jay. I wasn't aware of your birth,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “If I knew your Mom was pregnant, I wouldn't have sent her away.“You are not aware?” Sonia snapped, glaring at me, “Did you care to listen to me when I wanted to tell you? You did not even hesitate to send us away because your dear

I looked at him with a smile. “For what?” “For letting me see Dad,” he said softly, but his words pierced my heart.The way he called Ethan, “Dad” touched my heart. It made me realize how my son has been missing his father all these years.I forced a smile and kept my eyes on the road. “It’s your right, Jay.

    EthanI was engrossed with work in my study room when my phone rang. Seeing Jay’s name on the screen brought an instant smile to my face. “Hey, buddy,” I said, leaning back in my chair. “Mr. Ethan,” Jay’s voice came through, calm and cheerful. “Uhm... Can I spend the night at your house?” I blinked, surprised. Jay wants to spend the night at my house? Is Sonia aware of this or Am I dreaming? "Hey, Mr. Ethan. Are you there?" “Yes.. Yes of course you can if your mom is okay with it.” I said, my voice slightly trembling with emotions. "I have already discussed it with my mommy,” he said quickly. “She’s not around, she has traveled and I don’t want to sleep alone in this big house.” I felt a sudden rush of emotions, joy, excitement, and disbelief within me. “Of course, Jay. Get ready. I’ll come pick you up right away.” I barely waited for his response before hanging up. My heart raced as I grabbed my car keys and headed out the door. **********I drove as fast as I could, m

    Ethan Jay stared at me, waiting for an answer. His eyes were so much like Sonia's, curious but guarded. I set my glass down and wiped my mouth, trying to keep my voice steady. “Jay, it’s… complicated,” I said, unsure of how much I should tell him. Jay looked at me with a serious face. “But you still like her, right? I mean… you drew her picture and you said you miss her.” I swallowed hard. How could a child see through me so easily? Is Jay really a child or an adult in a child form? “I do, Jay,” I admitted. “I miss her a lot. And I regret hurting her more than anything in the world.” He studied me for a moment as if he was trying to decide whether or not to believe me. Then he nodded. “Then fix it,” he said, gazing straight into my eyes, like it was the easiest thing in the world. His actions surprised me. He has a mature mind and I couldn’t help but smile at his innocence. He's more mature than his age. “I’ll try,” I promised, even though I had no idea how to make it

    Sonia "We missed you so much," Gloria said repeatedly, her voice filled with emotion. I smiled as I hugged them back. They were once my maids, the ones who always kept me company whenever I felt lonely. I have missed them so much. I pulled back, blinking away the tears that were threatening to come out of my eyes. “It’s good to see you both,” I said, my voice barely audible. But as I looked around the room again, I couldn’t ignore the ache in my chest. I was once the mistress of this house. Now, I am just a visitor. "Uhm... Where is Jay?" I asked softly. Vanessa smiled warmly. "Young master is still asleep in the master bedroom.” The master bedroom? My heart skipped a beat. Ethan let him sleep there? I tried not to overthink it, as I decided to go to Ethan's room and get my son. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed down the staircase. I spun around to see if it was Jay but I froze when I saw Ethan. He was walking down the stairs, his hair still damp from a shower. He w

Work was my escape, my safe space, and I needed it now more than ever.The moment I stepped inside, Tara’s face lit up. “Ms. Sonia! You’re back!” she exclaimed, rushing over to hug me as if I had been away for months. Her excitement made me smile. “I’m back,” I said, with a chuckle. “I hope everything’s on track?” I asked as she pushed the door to my office open and we both stepped in. “Yes, but we only have two days until the presentation,” Tara reminded me, pulling out my chair for me. I nodded. “I know. Don’t worry, we’ll be ready before then.”Her eyes brightened with excitement when she heard me.After sitting down and taking the coffee that Tara made for me, I went through some documents before I made my way toward my team. As soon as I stepped into the design room, a wave of warmth greeted me.“Ms. Sonia!” someone called

    EthanThe security guard at the restaurant gave me a polite nod as I stepped out of my car and walked inside. My mind was racing, but I masked it with a calm expression. I promised Jay ice cream yesterday when I went to see him at school and I don't want to break that promise even if Sonia has made it clear she doesn't want me near her house again. I didn’t blame her, not after everything that happened. Still, I couldn’t stay away completely. Jay is my son and every moment I spent with him reminded me of what I have lost. Yesterday at school, The way he ran into my arms, so full of excitement, had left me stunned. “Why did you travel so suddenly?” he had asked. “We came to your house and Mommy said you traveled for an emergency business trip."I froze when he said that, my heart sinking and I sighed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, He didn't overhear my conversation with Celine and I thank God, Sonia didn't tell him anything. I felt relief wash over me in that moment, but

    Sonia I was having a cup of coffee with Alex in his office when Jay's call came in. Alex has requested that I have a coffee with him in his office and I couldn't refuse after everything he has done for me. I smiled as I picked up Jay's call, "Hey honey, how is school?" I asked as soon as I picked up. "School is fine, mom." He replied and paused for a moment, making me wonder if he was alright. "Are you alright? Did something happen at school?" I asked curiously, my voice filled with concern. "I'm alright, it's just that.... I...I am missing you." He said, his voice barely audible. Hearing him made my heart ache, he must have been feeling my absence for him to have called me. "Mom, are you there?" His voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Yes baby, I'm here," "Can you take me out when you are less busy at work?" He asked, his voice filled with anticipation. "Yes, I promise," I replied with a smile before hanging up.

    Sonia The drive home felt like forever. I stared out the window, trying to hold back the tears burning in my eyes. No matter how hard I tried, Ethan’s face kept flashing in my head, his guilt, his desperation. But what hurt the most was seeing him act like he still has a right to me after everything he has done. Daniel glanced at me while driving. “Are you okay?” he asked softly. I nodded, but I knew he didn’t believe me. How could he after seeing the way I spoke to Ethan right now?Daniel hesitated before speaking again. “Sonia, what’s going on between you and Ethan? Is he bothering you?” I sighed, my heart heavy with pain as I looked away, biting my lip. “It’s nothing,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I just… I don’t want to talk about it.” Daniel didn’t push further. He looked at me and nodded before focusing on the road. When we got home, Daniel parked the car and stepped out to open my door. “Thanks,” I said with a small smile, already turning to leave.

    CelineMy heart was racing and my hands trembling as I paced forth and back in my roomI couldn’t believe Ethan would actually ask me who the father of my child was! "Argh!!" I groaned, smashing the flower vase in frustration. My blood was boiling with anger, How could he doubt me? After all these years we've been together? I thought he would be happy when I told him about the pregnancy but I was shocked when he acted like I was lying. How could he? How could he even doubt me? I gritted my teeth, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. What am I going to do now? "I need to do something really fast. He must accept this pregnancy whether he likes it or not." I thought, rubbing my flat tummy as I moved toward the dressing mirror. I can't believe a life is growing inside of me. The thought of it made my heart glow with joy. I was so excited when the doctor told me I was pregnant. I knew this was my golden ticket, my only opportunity to make Ethan marry me but my ex

    EthanI froze, My heart slammed against my rib cage the moment I saw Sonia. Her eyes were filled with hatred and pain, which pierced my heart like a thousand arrows. I could barely breathe but when my gaze shifted and I saw Daniel standing beside her, my blood boiled. What the hell is he doing with her? Earlier, I was so desperate to see Sonia, to find a way to explain everything to her but all my efforts proved abortive. I was running out of options when I received a text anonymously, telling me to come to the shopping mall if I wanted to know what was happening with Sonia. At first, I thought it was a prank. I almost ignored it but when the second message came, mentioning Sonia again, I couldn’t risk it. But now, seeing her with this bastard, I knew he was the one that texted me. He wanted me to see him with Sonia. Gush! I feel like punching him in the face. I clenched my fists and moved toward her, my footsteps heavy and my heart pounded with every step. “Sonia,” I c

    SoniaI woke up the next morning with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. My entire body felt heavy as if the weight of yesterday’s pain had seeped into my bones. I let out a shaky breath and glanced at the clock. It was already past eight. I thank God today is Sunday because I don't think I am strong enough to go to work.I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and the person staring right back at me made my stomach twist.My eyes were red and puffy, my face pale and lifeless. I looked like a woman who had lost everything, like the woman from five years ago. I splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would bring me back to reality but no amount of water could cleanse the ache in my chest. I forced myself downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen. I wasn’t hungry, I haven't been since yesterday but Jay needed to eat. I couldn’t let my pain affect him. I brewed some tea, fried eggs, and toasted bread. The smell of fo

    SoniaMy hands trembled on the steering wheel as I drove home. Tears of heartbreak blurred my vision as my chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing the air out of me, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop Celine’s voice from echoing in my head. “I’m pregnant, Ethan.” Those words stabbed my heart like a knife, over and over again. I could still hear Ethan’s voice, the disbelief, the hesitation, and then the worst part... his silence. I blinked my eyes, pushing the tears back, but they kept falling. My heart felt like it was shattered into a thousand pieces, too broken to ever be whole again. How could he do this to me again? I thought he had changed. I thought he meant it when he said he cared, when he said he wanted to fix things. Just last night, I stupidly decided to give him a chance for the sake of Jay, to let him back into our life while forgetting that he still has feelings for Celine, that he would always choose her over me. "Ahh!!" I'm such a fool to

    Ethan I swung the door open with my trembling hand, expecting to see Sonia and Jay, but the doorway was empty. I quickly stepped outside and that was when I saw Sonia’s car speeding away. A cold sweat ran down my, my heart pounding in my chest. No! No!!. This is not happening. What am I going to do? "Did Sonia hear my conversation with Celine?" Different thoughts run through my head. “Damn it!” I cursed under my breath, my pulse quickening. She must have seen Celine or worse, heard something. My stomach twisted. This is my greatest fear. I knew Sonia would never trust me again, not after everything I put her through and now, this... This mess with Celine would make it worse. I pulled out my phone, my fingers trembling as I dialed her number. It rang once, then it went straight to voicemail. “No... no, no, no.” I paced back and forth, running my hand through my hair in frustration. I dialed again. “Pick up, Sonia, pick up!!" I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.

    EthanI couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I drove home. Sonia was finally allowing me back into her life, allowing me to be a part of Jay’s life again. It... It felt like a dream. This is something I have been waiting for my entire life and it is finally happening. The dinner we shared earlier, the way Jay had looked at me with such joy, and Sonia’s smile... It was like we were a family again. For the first time, everything felt right. I wanted it to last forever.I pulled into the driveway, my heart still filled with excitement.When I stepped into the living room, The maids greeted me. "Welcome, sir." They greeted, "Dinner is ready, should we serve you?" "No, I have eaten," I said with a smile and made my way to my room. I decided to freshen up as soon as I stepped into my room. I hummed a song as I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom. I was so happy, I felt alive, it like I was walking on air.My phone was ringing by the time I finished taking a shower. I wrapp
